Alex Highsmith Officially Out Against Chicago
The Pittsburgh Steelers defense will be without linebacker Alex Highsmith (pectoral) for their Week 12 tilt on the road in Chicago against the Bears on Sunday. Highsmith was listed as doubtful coming into this game, and he will officially miss a second straight game. However, the 28-year-old was able to practice in a limited fashion on Thursday and Friday, which means he could return in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. With Highsmith out again on Sunday, Nick Herbig and rookie Jack Sawyer will see more reps at linebacker for Pittsburgh. The Steelers' defense hasn't been the lockdown unit that most people are accustomed to seeing, but they will still be in play as a low-end fantasy option this weekend, despite missing Highsmith. Through 11 weeks this year, Highsmith has 24 tackles (15 solo), 5.5 sacks, six tackles for loss, 10 QB hits, and a forced fumble in seven games.
